1. Face Yourself is a deathcore band based out of New York, with members spanning across France, New Jersey, and Colorado. Formed in 2023, the band quickly gained recognition for their powerful, modern take on deathcore, blending brutal breakdowns with melodic elements and intense, introspective lyrics.
The band consists of vocalist Yasmin Liverneaux Belkhodja, lead guitarist Dave Ricco, guitarists Corey Doremus and Thomas Cardone, bassist Kyle Muenzner, and drummer Eric DiCarlo. Each member brings a unique background to the group, contributing to their distinctive sound. Yasmin, who is based in France, auditioned for the band after being recommended by a mutual friend, and her classical music training adds a unique depth to the band's vocal range.
Eric, the band’s founder and drummer, faced the tumultuous currents of life with unwavering determination. Battling a learning disability in his youth, he found solace in the cadence of percussion. His journey through video production and acting ultimately led him back to the drum kit, birthing Face Yourself in 2023 by bringing back musicians he had previously collaborated with on different projects. The lineup came together with Corey, who initially helped with vocal production, and Dave, who was brought in for his technical guitar skills. Kyle, who had worked with Eric on previous projects, joined as the bassist, solidifying the group.
The name "Face Yourself" was chosen by Eric, inspired by a song that deeply resonated with him. The band aims to confront personal and societal struggles through their music, inviting listeners to do the same.
In March 2023, Face Yourself released their self-titled debut EP, followed by their second EP Death Reflections in June.
